While I support the idea of exposing the internal workings of these pointless
companies, I would expect the poor "intern" who was "successful" would be bound

That's a rather excellent suggestion to infiltrate and spill their secrets!

This is correct. I've followed this thread and see the similarities to

While I agree the OP probably should have gone to libtech-jobs, are they
actually saying they aren't paying? While they didn't mention payment in
the OP, they didn't say it was unpaid either. The graphscience site
lists some internships in with their other "hiring" opportunities.

Right - but in the context of this list, where there are lots of nonprofit
folks, your initial statement was incredibly unclear.

Hamdan, the appropriate place for this is the libtech jobs list, unless you
are trying to raise some kind of discussion around the practice or the
company.

Unpaid internships are not universally illegal, but are often misused to
avoid minimum wage laws.

Unpaid internships where you are not receiving college credit are
generally illegal, unless the business is "training" you and not
receiving an economic benefit. This is not generally true for a vast
majority of unpaid internships.

Unpaid internships are illegal and discriminatory. In terms of "white
